George and Paula were great- organized, patient, detailed enough for the level of the class and George made it fun! I intend to pursue learning through Private Lessons which are offered as well. Great investment of Time and a good way to begin Learning.

An adult learner, I have been taking weekly guitar lessons with George for the past 7 months. I…read morecame here for lessons because my son took a year of guitar lessons here when he was 10, about seven year ago, and that was a positive experience for him and me. George is a great, interesting teacher--very patient with beginners and also able to challenge them to reach further than they thought they could. Paula is a very pleasant partner to George, keeping the shop and schedule running smoothly and always accommodating if I need to adjust my lesson time. If you are interested in music lessons of any type, take a set of discounted introductory lessons and see if All Things Musical is right for you, as it has been for me and my family.

I was a piano student at Edgewood from elementary school all the way until my high school…read moregraduation. While I disliked practicing at home, I fully appreciate the valuable lessons learned at Edgewood. Edgewood Music Studio employs extremely talented and knowledgeable teachers who work well in identifying student's weaknesses and develop techniques in order to help improve them. The teachers are extremely flexible in scheduling. In the nine years I went there, I rarely had a canceled lesson, and in the event my teacher could not be there, a suitable substitute was available. The director, Joan (who was also my teacher), holds lessons at her house. In addition to an annual recital, we had regular master classes so we could socialize with other students and hear them play. Joan pushes her students to the best of their abilities (we had to memorize our recital pieces). Joan did a great job in customizing a lesson plan with me. I started off with the Alfred Music books, which were divided into levels (1A/1B through 6). Each level progressively got more challenging. Once the I learned basic concepts in different styles of music, a classical component was introduced, and I was given more chord and note exercises to improve technique (I did Hanon's Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises, which got more challenging each week). Students were also required to complete weekly theory exercises in order to retain new concepts.

He has a comfortable little space for lessons, with flexible class times, and various pricing packages. The flexible class times are a huge selling point for me as a busy, working professional who may not be able to attend the same class time/day week in and week out. Mark does a fantastic job of breaking down complex concepts into easily consumable learnings to expedite your results/progress. In addition to being an excellent teacher, he graciously helped me navigate the guitar buying process, when I was ready, to make sure that I was getting something that suited my needs, and not overpaying for it. If that isn't enough, he's still active on the local gig circuit and performs fairly regularly, talk about a guy who walks the walk!

Great piano tuner, highly recommended…read more I hired Eric to begin working on my newly acquired 1890s Steinway upright. The piano is a little problematic because of its age and I purchased it knowing there would be a certain amount of rebuilding work required over time. I hired Eric to give the piano its first tuning in my house, perform some preliminary voicing and fix a few issues with the action. I was also looking to set up a plan to improve the piano over time and bring it into optimal playing condition. Ultimately, I am looking to have a reliable partner whose advice I trust and whose quality of work will give my piano the best sound and feel. Eric is exactly what you would hope for in any service provider: He has consistently been responsive to my requests, shows up early or on time and stays in touch for follow up work that was required. He is up-front about his pricing and holds himself to a high standard for the work he provides. The integrity he brings to both the service side and the business side of his work is admirable. From a quality of work perspective, Eric exceeds my expectations. He has a great ear and blends traditional ear-tuning techniques and the latest technology to get the optimal result. The quality of the work he does is excellent and just as importantly for me, he is able to explain the sources of the issues and the remaining work he recommends clearly and in non-technical language I can understand. He works hard to get to know the specific instrument he is working on and procures and installs high-quality parts that are most appropriate for it. He has an extensive network in the area and makes strong recommendations on service-providers for additional work my piano requires. I highly recommend Eric and will continue to work with him.
